,mr4 ,rush submitted the following      
resolution2 which was referred to the   
,committee on the ,judiciary            
,,resolution  ,expressing the necessity 
for the ,members of the ,house of       
,representatives to use the term        
undocumented instead of the term illegal
 when referring to foreign nationals    
which are working in the ,united ,states
 without proper documentation4  ,whereas
 the term7s7 or phrase undocumented     
immigrant1 non citizen1 or people here  
in violation of the immigration laws    
should be used instead of illegal alien 
when referring to persons who reside in 
the ,united ,states without proper      
documentation2 ,whereas there are an    
estimated eleven million people residing
 in the ,united ,states without legal   
permission1 the acts of these people may
 be illegal but they themselves are not 
illegal2 ,whereas the use of the term is

 included in ,public ,law #ajd-bjh1     
,division ,c ,illegal ,immigration      
,reform and ,immigrant ,responsibility  
,act of #aiif2 ,whereas the term illegal
 alien may cause negative sentiments    
toward the targeted population1 it is   
our responsibility to encourage a       
national dialogue that is respectful of 
humanity and frame a debate that is     
productive and free of terms that label 
a person's status as illegal or creates 
a negative connotation and ill will     
towards that person2 ,whereas all       
parties have expressed a desire for     
comprehensive immigration reform2       
,whereas the use of the term has caused 
delay in the negotiations of immigration
 reform2 and ,whereas it would give us  
the opportunity to move forward in the  
process of revising ,united ,states     
immigration laws with a universal term3 
,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that--  7#a7   
,members of the ,house of               
,representatives no longer use the term 
,illegal ,immigrant because no human    

being is illegal2  7#b7 human beings    
need to be central in immigration       
discussions in order to move toward a   
more civilized and humane tone in public
 discourse and policies on immigration2 
and  7#c7 foreign nationals1            
undocumented immigrant1 unauthorized    
immigrant1 immigrant without papers and 
immigrant seeking status are examples of
 terms we can use that do not dehumanize
 people4 ,we can all stop               
unintentionally fueling racial profiling
 and violence directed toward           
immigrants1 when we drop the word       
illegal when discussing a human being4
